SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discovery: The Evolution of Environmental Education and Public Science Programs Through COVID and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Chris Goforth\, Head\, Citizen Science\, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences \nWhen faced with the COVID-19 pandemic\, environmental education and nonformal science programs had to modify existing offerings quickly and create new opportunities for learning. As many traditional public programs return\, there are lessons to be learned from the innovations and creativity that the pandemic necessitated. Chris will share her insights\, visions for the future of programming and the unique and popular programs offered at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ Prairie Ridge Ecostation. Learn how Prairie Ridge involved the public during\, and now after\, the pandemic lockdowns\, and bring your questions and program strategies to share! \nJoin us on YouTube!\n\nLive Virtual Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff. \nYou can post questions in the YouTube chat or tweet questions to #LunchTimeDiscovery and mention @NorthCarolinaEE. \nBrought to you by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.
